Thank you so much for sharing this with your users! I really enjoyed learning about it, but I also learned that journaling isn't much for me!

This little journal has the perfect balance between tracking all the best things about reading and not needing to provide too many details which often puts me off being consistent. I have always been picky with reading journals and find there are often aspects of them that I don't want to use. However, with this one, it is clear that NetGalley & We Are Bookish are in tune with what online readers track most often. I also loved the space to add the book covers and stickers - I'm not very good at drawing etc. so this made me feel creative without getting frustrated. I hope there is one for 2025!

Loved this reading journal template! It is actively helping me track my reading and surprisingly, keeping me motivated to stick with it.

As someone who always loved having planners in school, and still uses them as an adult, I’m so into this reading journal!
There are sections for each month to track your NetGalley ratio, reading goals, and book reviews, as well as other sections with activities, stickers and more.
I’m still rather new to NetGalley, so it has provided me with some guidance and is a great kick of inspiration.

This was super easy to setup and get started. The journal comes with a lot of features that are easy to understand and flip through! Adding stickers into the journal was also quick and easy. I look forward to using this journal throughout the year!

I think it looks great but it doesn't seem very intuitive and easy to use. I'll work on it a little bit and see if I can figure it out. Thank you for offering the option!

What a great too for those of us who love to read and want to keep track in a journal!! I love that the user has the ability to customize the pages, use stickers,and create an aesthetically pleasing journal. I look forward to using this for many books to eb read this year!

Absolutely love this reading journal. It has everything a reader could want and more! I downloaded the colorful version first, but I might actually like these subtle colors a little better. The journal is organized super well, and the details are perfect. The bonus materials makes this even a better resource for readers! I love how there’s challenges and a habit tracker as well so if you’re wanting to do more than track just reading, you have all the resources you need to do that in one place.

Very cute and descriptive reading journal. Love how user friendly it is. It has a tab for each month, netgalley shelf, a location to upload stickers, activities, wrap up and notes.

Such A Fun Journal! Perfect to start of the new year right with everything you could need to keep track of the books you need to read and review, and see how much progress you've made over the year!

I LOVED this little journal! I printed a few copies so I could have some extra pages for my reading. It is so helpful and I’m so grateful to NetGalley in providing it for us!

This is a great, well-thought-out digital resource. However, it is difficult to use without an iPad or something similar. While you can use it on your phone and computer, some of the features lend themselves to touch screen more easily. Additionally, the stylus that comes with a tablet would make writing in the book much easier. It is easy to click through and designed with readers, specifically NetGalley readers in mind, but it is not a printable resource either. There is a very specific audience for this material, and unfortunately, it is not me.

Was helpful for using the tools that NetGalley provides for us to use as reviewers. It enables us to write good reviews people will find useful.

This is about to make my yearly reading journal a whole lot easier. This has pages so you can keep up with your netgalley arcs, rate your reads, and show your favorite books. You can either print this out and make a journal or use one you already have and follow their layout. I will definitely be recommending this to all my friends.

The idea of the NetGalley Reading Journal is amazing and it is so well laid out. The original palette is not my color scheme but if it was my only option, I absolutely would have used it without a problem.
Likes: I love the different activities and the flexibilities of them like the Habit tracker where you can choose what habits you have when reading and follow them, you can pick what challenge you want to follow (A-Z or categories), or a bingo board. The book review page is a great way to keep your reviews well organized for individual books on a page as well as a way to place many books on a page with just a way to keep track of how you read the book.
Dislikes: You have to use a separate note taking app, which you have to pay for, to actually use the journal and it is VERY confusing. I am pretty technologically savvy and I have been playing around with it for over an hour and am getting very frustrated with it and since I keep track of my books on Goodreads anyway, I’m not going to use this journal.
Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the ARC

A great resource. Everyone appreciates a good book journal. Makes me wish I had a better printer. Thank you!

I really enjoyed the journal layout! It covered all the areas needed for my reviews. The colour scheme is really nice, too.

I've both bought and created reading journals to use to track my reading and this is definitely one of the good ones! It's perfectly tailored to the needs of a NetGalley reader and it's set out in a way that encourages you to do more reading and get that ratio up. There are lots of goodies here. I've uploaded this to use on my iPad since my Kindle is pretty old. I might have a go at the A-Z challenge! Thanks NetGalley!

Every January I tell myself I’m going to start book journaling this year and then I start looking at options, get overwhelmed and just never do it. I love how organized and detailed the journal is and I can’t wait to get started. Thank you so much to net galley for the copy 💚

I really like this reading journal, the layout is pleasant and the journal itself is comprehensive. There are a lot of opportunities to personalize it with stickers, and I loved the additional reading challenges as well as the monthly wrap ups. The bookshelf coloring page with the cat is especially priceless! The clickable tabs are a wonderful addition and make the journal very easy to navigate without having to scroll for ages.
